Encyclopedia of Social and Cultural Anthropology Bewertungen

'This is one of those few privileged works that may actually redefine a field. Situating current debates in the context of the historical development of anthropology ... it charts a contemporary discourse that is vibrant, sophisticated and unexpectedly coherent. This is what post postmodernist anthropology looks like.' - Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute.

'An intelligent, informative and entertaining addition to the deplorably small number of reference works in the field.' - Choice
